WRHN Foundation raises money to help Waterloo Regional Health Network (WRHN) provide exceptional health care. The foundation is led by a volunteer Board of Governors and run by staff, who work with the hospitals leadership team to learn about patient needs and how their support can improve patients experience and care.
With the help of generous donors, supporters and community partners, the foundations raise millions of dollars for the hospital each year. This money is used to pay for medical equipment, programs and other initiatives that are not funded by the government or other sources. This includes paying for lodging for cancer patients who live outside the Waterloo Wellington areas.

There is no cost to a family member or friend staying the hotel with you in the same room.
The hotel stay is for the actual day(s) of your treatment. Check-in is usually on a Monday and Check-out on Friday. You can pay an additional charge to check in or out sooner. Contact the hotel to make these arrangements. You will be billed for any extra days.
